All works acrylic on wood; height then width and depth in centimetres.
These paintings continue the pursuit of a pictorial space that remains both volatile and seductive; one that entices and overwhelms; one that we become totally immersed in, and we surrender to that capture! The Stellar series has seen the introduction of more complex multidirectional compositions within the single panel and is a response to the paintings of Ellsworth Kelly and Frank Stella and to the architecture of Frank Gehry, reappraised in two tours of the USA in 2016-7.
